Why Watch it Today?: Director/producer and exploitation film giant Roger Corman turns 86 today-a Happy Birthday to a man who has brought fans of horror, sci-fi, trash and the weird in cinema so much joy over the years! It Conquered the World is classic early Corman, the same kind of alien invasion/mind control sci-fi horror that majors were doing on a much smaller budget.

Where to Get It: It Conquered the World is available in some of those huge “50 Movie” multi-packs, and in its MST3K version on YouTube.
